- Guys: Is this the girl from the rumors?
- Guys: Hell, yeah! You stay put and don't even think about trying anything.
- Guys: So what do we do?
- Guys: A bunch of labs apparently want her.
- Guys: Okay! Let's go sell her off!
- Guys: Wait, what happened to the guy who went ahead of us?
- Guys: Probably had to take a leak.
- Guys: Let's take her with us.
- SFX: Tug
- SFX: Boom
- Guys: Whoa!
- Guys: Ah!?
- Guys: What!?
- 03
- SFX: Crunch
- Kakine: Oh, there you are.
- Kakine: So you're Yuzuriha Ringo.
- Ringo: Kakine...
- Ringo: Teitoku?
- Kakine: Were you busy?
- Kakine: Not that I care. I'm only interested in the girl.
- SFX: Shoo shoo
- Kakine: You all can leave.
- 04
- Guys: The...
- Guys: The hell we can!!
- SFX: Gather
- Guys: Who the hell're you!?
- Guys: Shove him off the edge!!
- SFX: Run
- Kakine: And here I was offering to let you escape unharmed.
- Kakine: Why do weaklings insist on getting themselves destroyed?
- SFX: Sizzle
- Kakine: Now then.
- Guys: Ugh
- Guys: Owww
- Guys: Ghh
- 05
- Kakine: There's a lot I want to ask you.
- SFX: Chk
- Guys: Dammit.
- Guys: You're just a weakling who gets by on his powers!!
- SFX: Wham
- Guys: Gwah
- Kakine: Stay there on the floor.
- SFX: Crack
- Guys: Gwohhhh
- Kakine: Let's try this again.
- Kakine: I have business with you, Yuzuriha Ringo.
- Kakine: Because you are a survivor of the Dark May Project.
- 06
- DA: The target has moved.
- DA: Are they okay?
- DA: Yes, a boy is accompanying her.
- DA: A portion of the building's wall crumbled earlier.
- DA: That boy is probably Level 3 or higher.
- 07
- DA: Without voice data, we can't say what their connection is.
- DA: I would love to protect her from evil immediately, but we need to be careful.
- DA: The other DA branches do not seem to have picked up on this information.
- Lead DA: Such weak justice.
- Lead DA: So only our DA Arouse can bring about DA's true justice.
- Lead DA: We are the bearers of absolute justice.
- DA: We are the bearers of absolute justice.
- SFX: Together
- 08
- Box: The Dark May Project.
- Box: An experiment run on Child Errors, children who were abandoned in Academy City.
- Box: The thought patterns and calculation methods of Accelerator, Academy City's #1 Level 5, were analyzed.
- Box: By implanting a portion of them inside espers, the project hoped to strengthen their Personal Reality and redirect their powers.
- Kakine: That's what it says...
- Kakine: but what kind of garbage project cares about Accelerator's thoughts?
- Kakine: Hey, what's it feel like to have someone else's thoughts implanted in you?
- 09
- SFX: Reach
- SFX: Scatter
- Kakine: I think you're mistaken about something.
- Kakine: Did you think I saved you from those thugs?
- Kakine: So you think I'm safe?
- 10
- Ringo: Kakine...
- Ringo: Teitoku?
- Kakine: That's right.
- Ringo: Cough cough
- Kakine: I'm asking because you're my only option.
- Kakine: The project failed because the researchers died?
- Kakine: What, every last one of them kicked the bucket?
- Ringo: One of the other kids in the experiment...
- Ringo: went nuts.
- 11
- Kakine: So you can hold a conversation after all.
- Kakine: I'm after Accelerator's calculation patterns.
- SFX: Vrrrr
- Kakine: I want your help to defeat him.
- Kakine: And no.
- Kakine: You don't have a choice.
- Ringo: Fine.
- Ringo: But...
- SFX: Droop
- Ringo: I...
- SFX: Slump
- Kakine: Hey, don't fall asleep.
- 12
- SFX: Rub
- Ringo: Nhh
- SFX: Zzz
- Kakine: Wow, she really did fall asleep.
- SFX: Flip
- Kakine: Well, I don't need it right away.
- Kakine: And she couldn't think or calculate properly if I forced her up.
- Kakine: I couldn't get accurate data.
- SFX: Zzz
- SFX: Flip
- Kakine: But who falls asleep right now?
- 13
- MH: It's hard to believe...
- MH: she has Accelerator's thoughts implanted in her.
- MH: She's too soft or something.
- Yobou: Maybe she's just sleepy.
- Kakine: She had her brain messed with against her will.
- Kakine: It could be the experiment's doing.
- SFX: Thock
- Kakine: Or it's just in her personality...
- Kakine: to fall asleep next to the guy who strangled her.
- 14
- Kakine: I'm not sure threatening her will work too well.
- Yobou: Should we try another Dark May Project survivor?
- Yobou: It seems some have entered the Dark Side.
- Kakine: Nah.
- Kakine: Make too big a move and someone might figure out what we're up to.
- Kakine: Anyway.
- SFX: Thock
- Kakine: We have her already.
- MH: It doesn't sound like you'll need me for a while.
- MH: So can I go rest in the other room?
- Kakine: You go check on Accelerator's situation.
- Kakine: I want to know if he really is in the hospital with brain damage.
- MH: Right away?
- Kakine: Right away.
- 15
- Kakine: Don't take your eyes off Yuzuriha. I'll be in the next room.
- Yobou: Sure.
- SFX: Shut
- Kakine: Accelerator's calculation methods and thought patterns.
- SFX: Flop
- Kakine: I will acquire that key to negotiating with the top of Academy City.
- 16
- SFX: Zzz
- 17
- SFX: Vvv vvv
- Text: Absent again? You've barely been to school lately, so what's up? An elite can't be missing so much school!!
- Kakine: Tch.
- SFX: Toss
- Kakine: Wait, it's this late already?
- Kakine(outside): Guess I'll take a shower.
- 18
- SFX: Growwwwwl
- Kakine: First sleepiness and now hunger, huh?
- SFX: Toss
- Kakine: Let's go.
- Kakine: Good work. You can leave now.
- Yobou: Sure.
- 19
- SFX: Stare
- Kakine: You got a problem with what I graciously bought for you?
- Kakine: Hurry up and eat it.
- SFX: Stare
- SFX: Ah
- SFX: Munch
- Kakine: What?
- Ringo: Th-this is...
- Ringo: good.
- Ringo: This food...
- Ringo: is so good.
- Kakine: A galette's nothing special.
- Kakine: Do you only eat Japanese food?
- 20
- Ringo: Our food was always...
- Ringo: square crunchies...
- Ringo: green blobbies...
- Ringo: pink stickies...
- Ringo: or IVs.
- SFX: Munch munch
- Kakine: Worse than rations?
- Kakine: Even frontline soldiers eat better than that these days.
- Kakine: So the food was as garbage as the concept behind the project, huh?
- Kakine(outside): Hah
- Ringo: This is...
- Ringo: really good.
- Ringo: It's amazing!
- SFX: Munch munch
- SFX: Chew chew
- Kakine: Oh...
- SFX: Stare
- SFX: Sniff sniff
- Kakine: You put that on the fries.
- SFX: Scoop
- Kakine: Heyyy.
- 21
- Ringo: It's good.
- Ringo: And strong.
- Ringo(outside): Here
- Kakine(outside): No, thanks.
- Kakine: You aren't supposed to eat it on its own.
- Kakine: Now that your stomach's full, let's get down to business.
- Ringo: The Dark May Project.
- Ringo: Why do you...
- Ringo: want Accelerator's calculation patterns?
- Ringo: Do you want to fight him?
- Kakine: That's not my goal.
- Kakine: It's just a means to an end.
- 22
- Ringo: What is your goal?
- Ringo: You can't say? You don't want to say?
- Kakine: None of your business, kid.
- Ringo: Did you lose something?
- Kakine: I said it's none of your business, kid.
- 23
- Ringo: I'm not kid.
- Ringo: I'm Yuzuriha Ringo.
- Kakine: My bad, my bad.
- Kakine: It is annoying when people won't use your name.
- Kakine: Yujuriha-
- Ringo: Yujuriha...
- Kakine: I said it right.
- Ringo: No, you didn't.
- SFX: Thud
- Kakine: I said I said it right!
- Ringo: But you didn't.
- Kakine: Man, I'm thirsty. I'll go buy more drinks.
- Ringo: He didn't.
- 24
- Ringo: Kakine's lucky.
- Ringo: He's useful, and...
- DA: Yuzuriha Ringo, correct?
- DA: We are with Anti-Skill.
- DA: Please remain calm. Everything is under control.
- DA: We are protecting a runaway girl.
- SFX: Clatter
- Ringo: Who are you?
- 25
- Ringo: No.
- Ringo: I don't wanna go.
- Ringo: No!
- Girl: This looks bad.
- Boy: Wow, you're right.
- DA: Everyone, she is an out-of-control esper.
- DA: Please stay away for your own safety.
- DA: Please remain calm.
- DA: We will handle this.
- DA: Yes, we will...
- DA: We will rehabilitate her.
- DA: The target has been secured. This is not a problem.
- SFX: Pull
- Ringo: I'm not going.
- SFX: Kick
- Ringo: I said...
- Ringo: no!
- 26
- SFX: Wham
- Ringo: Kah...
- DA: Be a good girl and don't resist.
- DA: We are doing this for you and for justice.
- DA: Relax. You don't need to run away.
- DA: We will protect you and manage you.
- SFX: Squeeze
- Ringo: Manage me?
- DA: You will have a proper life in the proper environment.
- DA: You need not live in these inferior conditions.
- DA: This is an act of justice.
- DA: You psychologically immature children can be led astray by your powers...
- DA: so we adults must watch over you.
- DA: We are the bearers of absolute justice.
- 27
- Ringo: Hah.
- Ringo: Justice?
- SFX: Lick
- Ringo: Don't make me laugh.
- SFX: Crack
- Kids: Crap.
- Kids: Let's get outta here.
- Kakine: Stop.
- 28
- Kakine: I saw people running away, but what's going on here?
- DA: Hey, you. We are working to protect a runaway girl.
- DA: She might lose control of her powers, so stand back.
- Kakine: Teachers?
- Kakine: No, you're not teachers.
- Kakine: You reek of the shitty villains in our world.
- 29
- DA: Us? Villains?
- Kakine: You didn't realize? Then you're worse than villains.
- SFX: Twitch
- DA: Our actions are justice.
- DA: WE are justice.
- SFX: Crunch
- Kakine: Never doubting your own righteousness seems like the biggest kind of evil to me.
- SFX: Toss
- Kakine: And that means you, trash.
- SFX: Bounce
- 30
- Kakine: What? Teachers aiming guns at an unarmed student?
- DA: Not a problem. These are perfectly safe mock bullets used to suppress delinquent students.
- Kakine: Hm?
- DA: Yes, perfectly safe.
- DA: Because none of the students in our tests died no matter how many times we shot them!
- DA: These weapons keep you alive so you can understand your crimes through the pain!
- Kakine: They are perfectly safe!
- 31
- SFX: Blam
- DA: If you are too evil to understand justice...
- DA: then we must provide you with guidance as well!!
- SFX: Fwoosh
- 32-33
- Kakine: What do words like safe and dangerous matter?
- Kakine: My wings can withstand at least a Railgun blast.
- DA: Th-those wings.
- DA: Wait.
- DA: The #2!?
- Kakine: Seems like you know who you picked a fight with.
- 34
- Kakine: Yes, I am Dark Matter.
- Kakine: I am Kakine Teitoku.
- DA: But why would Academy City's #2 get in our way!?
- DA: Why is he obstructing our justice...
- DA: when he has the talent of a Level 5?
- DA: How sad.
- DA: Can he not see that we are justice?
- Kakine: What are they talking about?
- Lead DA: Calm down, comrades.
- 35
- SFX: Appear
- Lead DA: This just means that even Academy City's #2 is in need of our guidance.
- Kakine: Huh?
- Lead DA: I will teach you that power must be used responsibly.
- Lead DA: So put away those stupid wings.
- 36
- Kakine: Only one of us is stupid and it ain't me, shithead.
- SFX: Gwoosh
- SFX: Wham
- SFX: Slide slide slide
- SFX: Twitch
- Lead DA: Hm, so this is Dark Matter.
- 37
- Lead DA: But my armor is meant for use against espers.
- Lead DA: Its composite metal armor and the shock absorbing gel within...
- Lead DA: can weaken and negate any form of attack.
- SFX: Gachunk
- Lead DA: You poor children simply did as you were told...
- Lead DA: and developed your powers without understanding justice.
- SFX: Bam
- Kakine: Ha ha. Are you trying to capture me with that thing?
- SFX: Zap
- Lead DA: Can you laugh off 10 million volts, several times the military models?
- Kakine: Wouldn't that be deadly?
- Kakine: What happened to the safety of mock bullets?
- 38
- Lead DA: You will only die because you do not understand absolute justice.
- Lead DA: Pitiful child.
- Lead DA: We must manage and rehabilitate that imperfect power of yours.
- SFX: Crunch
- Kakine: Is that so?
- Kakine: But that armor...
- Kakine: was only made with normal espers in mind, right?
- Lead DA: What?
- 39
- Kakine: The normal rules mean nothing...
- Kakine: against my Dark Matter!!
- SFX: Boom
- Lead DA: This can stop the energy of any form of atta-
- 40
- Lead DA: Nwohhhhh!
- Lead DA: What, how!?
- Lead DA: What happened!?
- SFX: Splat splat
- SFX: Wobble
- Lead DA: Nwohhhh
- 41
- SFX: Splat
- Kakine: Are you okay?
- Ringo: Yeah.
- SFX: Step step
- 42
- SFX: Roar
- SFX: Kssssshhhhh
- SFX: Squeeeeeal
- Kakine: A riot suppression acoustic weapon!?
- 43
- SFX: Shatter
- Kakine: Tch. They retrieved some of them.
- Kakine: They'll probably attack again.
- Ringo: So pretty.
- Kakine: Huh?
- 44
- Ringo: Your wings...
- Ringo: are pretty.
- Kakine: Are you making fun of me?
- Ringo: Hm? No.
- Ringo: Your wings are pretty.
- Ringo: Kakine.
- Ringo: You're...
- Ringo: really cool.
- 45
- Ringo: You're...
- Ringo: cool!
- Kakine: Let's go.
- Accel: What?
- 46
- Accel: What idiot was having a party first thing in the morning?
- LO: You can't underestimate family restaurant hamburger steak either...
- Esther: I see, I see.
- LO: says Misaka as Misaka argues what you should order when we get there!
- Umidori: Yuzuriha Ringo-chan...
- Umidori: huh?
- Umidori: It's been a while.
- Amata: What? Did you see something amusing?
- 47
- Amata: Souji.
- Souji: Yes!
- Souji: I've done it, Amata-san!
- Souji: I've lit the fuse.
- Text: To be continued?
- Margin: Several parts of Academy City's "darkness" are on the move!?
